Tuscany is a region in the middle-north of Italy, with Florence as its main city and Pisa, Siena and Lucca also inside it. In English the name does a lot of work beyond just pointing at a place on the map: it carries a whole picture — rolling green hills, lines of tall thin cypress trees, stone farmhouses, olive groves, red wine (Chianti comes from there), and the Renaissance art of Florence.
